What you will read in this post is applicable to men of age 18+. If you're a woman or non-binary (whatever that means, there are 2 genders - period!), create your own example and use it in your mind. Here's the unconventional strategy: Whenever you receive a rejection email from a recruiter or directly from a company, visualize that you've had romantic encounters with one or more attractive women in the family of the person who rejected you. While this may seem distasteful at first glance, it's a technique to help our minds feel better in difficult situations. By imagining a scenario where you come out on top when receiving a rejection email, you can transform the sting of rejection into a sense of victory. You won't feel as though you've been rejected. Instead, it will feel like a triumph. This mental trick helps prevent the release of negative energy known as "loosh." On the other hand, sending rejection emails to candidates who were never invited for the first interview can be seen as unprofessional on the part of recruiters and companies. Do you see what happens when people who were nothing or who were working in the travel, hotel, or restaurant industry suddenly land a recruiter job position where they have the power to decide who proceeds and who doesn't? The worst possible scenario is a power-hungry nobody becoming somebody and curing their frustrations on the world. We don't believe it's necessary to send rejection emails to candidates who were never selected, as this serves no purpose other than to potentially drain them of their energy (loosh). It's common sense that if a candidate doesn't hear back from the company, it means either they've been rejected or the company isn't interested. However, when candidates have been selected for the first interview, we strongly believe they should receive closure instead of being left in the dark (ghosted). A rejection email feels more honorable than a sneaky silence because it reveals the true nature of the recruiter and the company culture. - TSL

Another "notorious" post emphasizing the value of mental peace and the divine state it represents! A day spent away from LinkedIn and platforms where recruiters thrive truly merits celebration. It's a day when you avoid loosh extraction, eschew playing ridiculous games, decline applying to fake jobs or already filled positions - hence eliminating false hope - and circumvent interviews where you excel only to be rejected for trivial reasons. Such days are worth cherishing! Do not fear missing out (FOMO) because it's a contrived FOMO. If you do not feel like missing out on the items we listed, then by all means continue using LinkedIn daily. It's your choice after all. Regarding silly games, did you know that recruiters sometimes deliberately withhold updates to gauge your response? They leave you hanging for longer than necessary to observe your reaction - whether you remain calm or panic, message them about the update, become needy, etc. If this doesn't prompt you to consider bypassing the middleman in the job hunt process, then you deserve whatever outcome ensues if you participate in the game of recruitment. Until significant improvements occur, the veracity of what's written in this post remains unaltered. - TSL

To succeed in finding a job, advancing in your career, and achieving success in life, let's examine one key factor that may not be immediately apparent. Mainstream media, while it doesn't always tell the truth to the public, continues to thrive and make money. Apart from being funded by elites who influence global affairs, they persist 24/7 without ceasing. Their unwavering confidence isn't dependent on whether people believe them or not. Imagine if the media stopped operating every time they were exposed for spreading falsehoods (which happens frequently)? They simply don't care about public opinion. If their stories are debunked on social media, they continue as though nothing has occurred. Do you understand? As a job seeker, it is essential to maintain persistence in the face of rejections. If you cease applying or lament about rejections on LinkedIn like many do, you may be undermining yourself. The universe operates in enigmatic ways, and while we can't reveal all our secrets, one such mystery is that success requires a strong belief that you have already achieved your goals. By internalizing this conviction, you can influence reality to catch up with your thoughts. The reality has no choice but to conform to your beliefs. We can refer to this as being delusional, manifesting, or anything else, but the wealthy elites employ this method. They are so convinced of their success that they project an air of arrogant certainty, and eventually, their convictions become reality. The universe responds to conviction! It responds to individuals' frequencies. The universe responds to confidence. Have you noticed that people who emit frequencies of lack to the universe such as "I'm struggling, my business is not doing well, I can't find a job" tend to remain in a perpetual vicious cycle where they continue to struggle and cannot find work? Instead, the following should be adopted: if you are a job seeker, visualize yourself already working at a job as you apply. This will help facilitate a successful conclusion to your job search. Patience is key! If you go to the gym, you don't see immediate results, but imagine if you already picture yourself in great shape and continue to work out, and after several months, your body becomes just as you envisioned it before the transformation occurred. This is one of the divine ways the universe operates. You have nothing to lose. Persist unwaveringly and success will be inevitable! Does mainstream media question itself when caught in a lie? No, they continue relentlessly. There's no reason for any rejection or negative feedback to deter you from moving forward! Walk confidently towards victory! - TSL

The malevolent and clandestine elite have been pursuing your loosh since the inception of humanity - this is the energy of fear. It encompasses the lower densities of frequencies and emotions, such as fear, anger, guilt, shame, anxiety, regret, despair, apathy, agony, and so forth. Their aim is to keep you perpetually trapped within this cycle so they can continue their dominion over you. Does it now become clear why numerous posts emphasize the importance of safeguarding your aura and maintaining a high vibration? Do the frequent job losses, inflation, economic recessions, and perpetual wars now seem more comprehensible? For personal success in life, it's crucial to inhabit the higher frequencies and emotional states - peace, joy, love, appreciation, gratitude, enlightenment, reason, acceptance, willingness, and so on. Every day, from dusk till dawn, efforts are made to diminish each individual's vibration because strong people foster a robust society, which the darkness cannot penetrate and thrive within, nor can it endure in the presence of light. Let the information you have just read serve as the highest possible motivation and inspiration for you every day, propelling you out of bed to work diligently or tirelessly seek employment if you're searching for a job. Offer the matrix the opposite of what it desires from you because the current grid's control does not have your best interests at heart - it seeks to keep you feeling small, powerless, and oppressed. If you understood the magnitude of your power, you would be too potent for the system. Thus, they employ various tactics to maintain you in a lower frequency state. Now that you understand the truth (if you were aware earlier, congratulations), it's time to fight back more fiercely than ever! For the reasons detailed in this post, you should retaliate vehemently - continue job applications persistently, attend interviews, update your resume, and persistently elevate your worth and value until you become impossible to ignore. The power has always resided with the people. The system of control has fought tirelessly over millennia to convince us otherwise. The veil is lifting after thousands of years. The current system is crumbling and can no longer evade its impending collapse - it can only postpone it, but for how long remains uncertain. The matrix has collapsed. You must share the good news with others. Spread the word far and wide. AI represents the latest fear propagated among people. More fears will arise before the system admits its demise in one way or another. Prepare yourself for this! Are you beginning to perceive the programming and the deception? Advance and reclaim your freedom! Reclaim your power! - TSL

As time passes, companies that have undergone tech layoffs will attempt to conceal this information from the public due to feelings of shame (even though they're shameless) regarding their shallow decision-making. However, they reveal their disregard for employees - something they strive to hide in an effort to attract new talent. This is the most significant red flag, and ignoring it means accepting whatever consequences come your way. There's no diplomatic way to say this, but that's just how it is. They possessed skilled, loyal individuals who were let go in favor of AI tokens, which karmically became more costly. Inexpensive AI models are not replacing developers; instead, they create additional work for them. Yet again, it has been proven why the elite despises ordinary people so much - because they can manipulate and control them as they please. They have control over all media outlets, allowing them to push any narrative without question from the masses, including "smart" and arrogant CEOs. Of course, the narrative will be false. Why should Musk, Zuckerberg, Altman, Amodei, Gates, Bezos care about you or your company? They're solely focused on enriching themselves. Successfully manipulating the public through AI is another operation that has yielded enormous profits for them, while regular employees bear the brunt of the consequences. Companies will soon suffer as they struggle to secure the talent they desire due to offering poor working conditions and salaries. How paradoxical is it that in a market filled with qualified candidates, companies cannot attract the people they want because those individuals refuse to work under such conditions? One of the biggest delusions among companies is the belief that they can hire anyone they desire. In reality, candidates hold the ultimate power, and if they decline an offer, there's nothing a company can do but move on to another candidate. This post aims to tell you that as a job seeker, you possess immense power, but various tactics are employed to make you feel miserable, small, and powerless. It's time to wake up and utilize your power! If you easily surrender your power for a low salary, you'll lose in the long run. Throughout history, people have always held the power; however, a minority controls, manipulates, and owns the majority because an informed minority can defeat an uninformed majority at any game. When the majority becomes aware of this and unites, the system will crumble. The system fights tirelessly to prevent people from waking up and uniting - it can only be delayed for so long. It's not possible to delay it forever! Wake up and seize what's yours! Land that dream job position you desire or launch that project, company, or initiative you've always wanted to create. Carpe diem! Seize the day! - TSL

Slow hiring process or an invitation for a second interview one month after the first suggests that the company may not be genuinely hiring, or they have too many candidates (it's still their responsibility to filter applicants reasonably). Alternatively, the company may be overly optimistic in assuming that candidates can wait as long as necessary. Excellent performance throughout all interviews, yet rejection in the end? It's possible there was an internal candidate the entire time, and the job position had already been filled, creating a ghost, non existent job. A task assignment before the first interview is a significant red flag - you should almost never accept to complete this assignment because chances are 99.99% that you'll be rejected in the end. This tactic serves as a defensive mechanism, giving candidates an illusion that the company is hiring for real while attempting to eliminate them. Instead of automatically rejecting you, they provide a test task, followed by rejection after submission of the solution - it's unethical but prevalent. Multiple interviews, numerous technical assignments, and continual proof of qualifications suggest that power dynamics have already been established, placing candidates in a disadvantageous position as the company expects obedience. This situation is rarely worth enduring unless the compensation is exceptionally high. If you respect yourself, consider walking away, even if the salary is substantial but the job makes you miserable, as you've already lost. No communication with the recruiter after sending your CV and being told that an interview call or email would follow? Poor company or recruiter - simply move on and do not contact them again. Any form of ghosting indicates everything you need to know about both the company and the recruiter - since you cannot fully comprehend the situation, consider both parties unacceptable. Securing a job but dealing with poor management style that involves micromanagement and suffocating early in the employment? It's unlikely that conditions will improve for the better. The company operates this way, and you have a choice to endure it or leave. Such scenarios are common, and many similar situations exist. In whatever situation you find yourself, read between the lines and trust your intuition. Even if you're not 100% accurate, you'll be 90%+ correct, although you cannot prove it. Trust in the divinity of human intuition. - TSL

Before we delve into the solution, it's essential to acknowledge that not all hiring processes are ethical - job postings for positions that have already been filled may persist to generate potential new hires. Candidates attend interviews unaware that they may not be offered a position in the near future, but might be contacted for the same or similar position months later, a scenario which often does not materialize. The outcome - wasted time, energy, and effort even for the most qualified candidates. With this in mind, why are you hesitant when it comes to job applications? Are you timid or overly accommodating? You should never be! Be assertive about your desires without causing harm to others! Update your CV with every skill and experience you possess - do not omit anything. Include all relevant libraries, frameworks, tools, and any other pertinent information in your CV. If the job description calls for an area in which you lack experience but are confident that you can quickly master it, include this on your CV as well. While it's important to never lie about your skills and experience, bend the rules occasionally if you're certain that by the time of the interview, you will have become proficient in the subject and will be able to respond to the questions posed during the interview. Isn't this approach more advantageous than omitting it from your CV and risking rejection based on a minor deficiency? Although recruiters, HR professionals, and hiring managers often emphasize the importance of honesty about one's limitations, they can be quite judgmental during the hiring process. The classic question posed by the boss may be: "Why should I pay someone to learn something when there's a candidate who already possesses this skill" and in an instant, you may find yourself rejected based on something that could have been easily acquired within just a few days. Think big and strategize wisely! Never trust what recruiters, HR professionals, or hiring managers say - instead, focus on their actions because they treat candidates the same way: despite what's written in your CV, they will verify your skills and look for any reason not to hire you. If you're actively job seeking, be prepared to update your CV frequently and refrain from complaining about this process. Have multiple versions of your CV tailored for different job applications, and submit the most appropriate version for each position. The presentation of yourself via CV is crucial as it creates an image and perspective within the hiring company; once an impression has been formed, changing it can be challenging. Make recruiters "buzzword chasers" by appearing to be an ideal candidate on paper! However, the most critical aspect is ensuring that you back up everything written in your CV - avoid exaggeration as doing so risks being exposed. Another vital point to remember during the hiring process is: when candidates and interviewers meet for the first time, there is a significant amount of judgment and assumptions, either consciously or subconsciously. Never forget this and act accordingly! - TSL

This post aims to shed light on how HR, recruiters, hiring managers, CEOs, and other stakeholders often cause bottlenecks in the job search process. The paradox at hand is intriguing yet frustrating to consider. It manifests itself in various forms. For instance, a candidate may possess a valuable skill but fail to include it on their CV because they assume that the relevant party will recognize their expertise. Consequently, they may be perceived as lacking experience in that particular library, framework, or tool. The most significant mistake candidates make is the assumption that recruiters, HR professionals, and hiring managers will look beyond what's written on their CV. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case - whatever information appears on a CV is what they believe to be a candidate's skillset and experience. If a job description specifies certain requirements but these are not present in the CV, and the applicant knows otherwise, they risk being rejected due to the omission. The classical paradox is often referred to as the "unicorn paradox" which is ironic because unicorns do not exist. The unicorn paradox is the expectation that candidates must perfectly mirror the exact language used in job descriptions within their CV, with all the required qualifications present for the candidate to be deemed a "perfect" match and given an interview. If a candidate's skills and experience align with what's written on their CV during the interviews, they may eventually secure the position. The unicorn paradox is aggravating because it amounts to searching for a proverbial needle in a haystack - not to hire the candidate but rather to reject them based on unrealistic expectations of perfection. Reality tends to be quite different: when a skilled and suitable candidate lands the job, they become the rare "unicorn" candidate over time. It's that simple. The key is for companies to give candidates a chance, knowing they possess the necessary skills and experience after multiple rounds of interviews, yet remaining hesitant to do so in the hope of finding someone even better. HR professionals, recruiters, and hiring managers often fall for this amusing delusion: instead of seeking the best candidate for the job, they search for what appears to be the best candidate based on their CV. The ideal candidate may not have the strongest CV from the perspective of recruiters, HR professionals, and hiring managers and may be deemed unsuitable as a result. Conversely, a candidate who has customized their CV to incorporate keywords that closely match the job description may appear to be the "ideal" candidate. However, only in advanced stages of the interview process are the truths revealed, and if you're not given a chance, you can't demonstrate your knowledge or potential. The solution to this paradox is relatively straightforward. You will find it detailed in the next post. - TSL

The World Cup 2026 final match has inspired us to write another post, in which we wish to inform you that determination and patience are key factors in securing a job in the tech market and achieving anything you desire in life. If you remain determined in your pursuit of something and continue working towards it without losing motivation when setbacks occur, you will persevere and ultimately succeed! Do the hard work when no one is watching because later, when you find yourself in the spotlight, all your hard work will be rewarded! Football players train rigorously, follow a specific diet regimen, and live a lifestyle that allows them to perform at their best on the pitch. As a result of this dedication, their hard work becomes visible. The same is true for landing a job and earning money - do the hard work when no one is watching, and you will overcome any obstacles in your path, including numerous rejections or recruiters and hiring managers who may not initially recognize your value. In the end, you will emerge victorious! - TSL

Congratulations to Spain for winning the World Cup 2026! The victory was thoroughly deserved, as they dominated throughout the entire match. This demonstrates that playing a dominant, pressing game, striving to be the best version of oneself can indeed yield results, and even a supposedly rigged system cannot prevent one from triumphing. Argentina did receive assistance from referees during their matches and were FIFA's favored team to win the World Cup. Nevertheless, in the end, we believe justice was upheld, and the superior team emerged victorious! Sports competitions can sometimes serve as valuable sources of motivation and life lessons. - TSL

The grass isn't greener on the other side. It's greener where you water it. This is a lesson that companies who have entered into a delusional state should learn. They are discovering this truth the hard way, as they find themselves in search of the same talent they once let go due to being manipulated by AI companies into releasing their workers in exchange for AI tokens. The current state of the tech job market echoes the delusion promoted by feminism that women can always find a better deal, travel the world, and "explore" or engage in promiscuous behavior before settling down with a wealthy partner. However, this is far from the reality, isn't it? Companies are currently undergoing their own "promiscuous" and "hoe" phase, believing that they will find better people while offering them the lowest salary possible. The truth is, they have already lost their best employees. Good luck to those companies who are re-hiring. This post may come across as harsh, but the truth cannot be hidden. Ignoring the truth only perpetuates delusion and increases the severity of the consequences when reality eventually sets in. Be assured, reality always catches up, sooner or later. - TSL

In this post, you will learn about your ticket to success: how to be desirable and land a job offer. The human brain is drawn to visually appealing things, whether they are objects or people. This is the first clue. People form their initial perception of something based on what they see and how it is presented to them. The saying "People believe what they see, not what is true" holds merit. Only when we gain a deep understanding of someone or something and their character do we have the complete picture; otherwise, we may never learn the truth. First impressions can be powerful, making it difficult to change one's perception later on. This is how our brains work: we form strong opinions based on initial impressions and seek out evidence to support them. This is why individuals who present a fake persona or image may appear successful, as their perceived success influences others' perceptions of them. However, this post is not about anything fake. It's about genuine qualities that can help you make a strong first impression during job interviews and increase your chances of being hired. In the initial stage of friendship, dating, or hiring, there is a bias towards perfection that doesn't exist in reality. People often judge others based on their initial perception, which can be influenced by factors such as appearance, demeanor, and confidence. A well-dressed candidate with good manners and a confident demeanor during an interview will have a higher chance of being hired. However, it is important to note that this advantage may only last until the later stages of the hiring process, when the candidate's skills and experience become more critical factors. The golden ticket is: good looks, appropriate attire, good manners, confidence, relevant skills and experience for the job, and humility. Avoid coming across as arrogant or overly confident during interviews. Instead, be authentic and genuine in your interactions with potential employers. If an interviewer feels drawn to a candidate, they may be more likely to support them throughout the hiring process, even if there are other equally qualified candidates. It is important to note that good looks do not require the candidate to have model-like features or a slim or thin physique. The ideal candidate should simply feel comfortable in their own skin and avoid appearing chubby, puffy, or overweight. The biggest irony is that once a candidate has been given an opportunity for the job, their character and skills at the job become much more important factors than their physical appearance. Good looks can help secure an interview, but it is the candidate's personality and qualifications that will ultimately determine their success in the position. The unspoken rules that apply during job interviews are as follows: first impressions matter greatly; a well-dressed candidate with good manners and confidence will have a higher chance of being hired; and character is what ultimately wins in the end. Companies may never admit these truths publicly, but they are often at play during the hiring process. If you can master the power of subconscious influences, you will be successful in life. It's important to note that there are instances where candidates may be rejected for reasons unrelated to their qualifications or appearance, such as fake job postings or already-filled positions. In these cases, no amount of charm or charisma can help secure a job offer. The most crucial aspect is that whatever you do, it should be authentically genuine, as people can easily detect inauthenticity. - TSL

This topic has been discussed in numerous posts, and it bears repeating: platforms that are dominated by recruiters and HR professionals do not appear to be the most beneficial for job seekers. Keep this in mind! While it may not apply to 100% of such platforms, it likely applies to 90% or more. When 100 candidates apply for a single job opening, only one candidate will secure the position, and the other 99 candidates will be left in the dark without any communication. Recruiters and HR professionals do not always operate ethically. They may send out numerous job descriptions and wait for responses from many applicants. After selecting a few candidates, they often neglect to inform the remaining applicants of their status. Why subject yourself to such treatment? Consider whether it's worthwhile for someone who lacks the competence to assess your qualifications by searching for keywords in your CV? Does this make sense? The most disheartening instances occur when recruiters and HR professionals openly brag about their frivolous reasons for rejecting candidates and denying them the opportunity to advance to further interviews. If all job seekers were to collectively reject the absurd recruitment system, significant changes could be observed. Whenever you feel that a recruiter or HR professional has disrespected you, share this website with them. Share it freely. Show them that you are aware of the truth. You possess the power to educate people on how to treat you. Teach them to respect you! - TSL

One common mistake made by job seekers is announcing their joy and excitement about receiving a job offer and starting on their first day at their new company through a public post. The golden rule is to remain silent until you have secured the job definitively and have had time to fully understand the work environment. This process may take anywhere from six months to a year, during which time all aspects of the workplace are revealed: positive coworkers, toxic coworkers, effective management, and more. Toxic companies tend to reveal themselves quickly - within the first few days up to two months. We suggest keeping quiet for several reasons. Firstly, malicious intent in people is a real phenomenon. Envious and jealous individuals may emit negative energy simply by learning about your positive news. To share the information (if you cannot resist) without risking exposure to this negativity, we recommend writing a post that does not convey excessive emotion (save your internal happiness and joy for yourself and your closest confidants). Secondly, during interviews, companies learn a great deal about candidates, while candidates learn very little about the company. Until you begin working there, you have no idea what the actual work environment will be like, despite what they may tell you during the interview process. You don't have access to the project codebase, know all of your coworkers, or understand the management style, among other things. As a candidate, you are largely in the dark. For these reasons, we believe it is a more strategic approach to remain silent, to work, to observe, and over time, you will uncover the truth about the company. Exercise caution when sharing emotional posts in the early stages as your information is limited. Ultimately, the choice of how to share this news is up to you. We aim only to provide a different perspective on the matter. - TSL

The best revenge is massive success! With no melodrama, remove yourself from disrespectful situations and achieve success beyond your wildest dreams, leaving behind those who doubted you, rejected you, or laid you off. During this process, do not fear losing 99% of so-called friends, as that is what true massive success demands! If you are governed by fear, you will be perpetually stuck in the rat race. Trust your instincts implicitly! If you believe you are more intelligent than those who are interviewing you, then you possess the answer: you are above that place. Even if you secure a job there, but notice a matrix-like mindset and deceit like 99% of companies, dedicate your free time to working on your own projects. Build your empire in silence until it becomes unshakably strong and indestructible! Do not spend your entire life constructing someone else's dream. They reap the financial benefits of your hard work while providing you with paltry compensation, citing various excuses - tough economic conditions, slow growth, inflation, and laughing all the way to the bank. Recognize this deception and "punish" them with massive success! - TSL

Rejections should be treated as inconsequential noise, much like the buzzing of flies in your home or apartment - do not let it affect you. If a company never invited you for an initial interview and rejected you immediately, do not spend any time dwelling on this company. Move forward with grace and dignity. Sending emails asking for specific feedback may come across as pitiful and whiny; instead, offer them a deafening silence! They will likely provide general feedback about other "stronger" candidates. If you had an initial interview but were never invited for a second or were rejected after the second, third, fourth, or fifth interview, move on and offer them silence once more! Display high-status signals by not responding to their rejections or inquiring about specific reasons. If they perceive you as someone who doesn't chase or beg, they will assume you understand your worth and value yourself accordingly. We advocate treating rejections impersonally because the decision-makers never got to know you well enough to form an accurate impression of you. Continuing to email them for a second chance may send low-status signals and prevent both current and future job opportunities. Silence is golden! This advice should remind you of WordPress. If you grasp this concept, then you are truly a legend. Such treatment is reserved for disrespectful companies - eternal silence. If they reach out to you again, feel free to communicate with them once more; otherwise, continue moving forward and never look back. This approach embodies the key to success in life: not caring because you believe in your worth and know that the right people will recognize it. Rejections differ from layoffs. In a work setting, a company has the opportunity to evaluate your skills, experience, worth, and personality. While layoffs can feel personal, even if they are simply a result of business decisions, offer them the same deafening silence as rejections and move on with your shining light. Displaying indifference is a high-status signal. Use it authentically to assert control over your emotions and undermine their ego, ensuring victory! - TSL

One of the hardest things in life is knowing that no matter what you do, it still takes a certain amount of time to reach where you want to be, and there is nothing that can speed up that process - even though you fully know that you deserve it. There are no shortcuts, even if you work 24/7; nothing can hasten the process. This is the period where your mental strength, and the sincerity of what you want, are tested to the fullest. If you desire something so badly and work toward it, the universe has no choice but to grant it to you - provided that you remain neither needy nor desperate. There are many real-life examples of this. Let’s start with the obvious: tech layoffs. If you are affected by a tech layoff, it will take, at minimum, three to six, or even twelve months before you are hired again. Some people find their next job even after 18 to 24 months, or even more in extreme cases. At the time of writing this post, it is summer, and real hires are significantly reduced, essentially frozen until September or towards the end of the year. People are on vacation, enjoying their summer holidays, and nothing a job applicant can do to speed up this process except continue to apply and wait for the right time to pass. These types of situations are intensely frustrating. Here is another example: if you start going to the gym, you will have to wait at least three to six months before you begin seeing noticeable results. You cannot exercise ten or twelve hours per day to speed up the results, as you would simply damage your body. Nothing helps but consistency, dedication, and time! While this may seem obvious, we wanted to bring it to your attention because when you understand why certain things happen, you gain an advantage over those who do not. You are also better equipped to process whatever is going on in this period, which must pass before the light at the end of the tunnel begins to show. Stay strong and never give up! Remain as stress-free as possible because being pushy, needy, or clingy are some of the most repellent forces, and you will almost certainly not get the job. Patience is key! - TSL

Whether or not these companies publicly acknowledge their mistakes is uncertain. Nevertheless, deep within, they recognize that they have made significant errors. They (un)intentionally released the very same talent they will need to seek again in their future hiring processes. They held onto valuable talent only to lose it. One must wonder how a company can be so careless as to allow such a thing to happen? In a manner reminiscent of mindless robots, companies were persuaded by large AI companies to dismiss skilled individuals in exchange for AI tokens that have since become increasingly expensive and are likely to continue rising in price. Was this a result of greed, or did the CEOs of these tech companies allow themselves to be emotionally manipulated or blackmailed into making such an irrational decision? Each company has its own unique story. As a job applicant, you should not concern yourself with this situation. Simply understand that these companies have made significant mistakes and are aware of them. Although they may not publicly admit their errors due to pride and ego, internally, they acknowledge they have made serious blunders. This saying, "Human stupidity and greed know no bounds" underscores the truth in this situation. A dedicated, intelligent, disciplined employee cannot be replicated by AI. They tried and failed. If a company complains about a lack of skilled tech individuals, consider it a warning sign that the company may not be worth working for. Stay focused and keep striving. If you're looking for work, continue to apply and never lose hope. The pendulum has swung in favor of job seekers, but it will take some time before all those who were unfairly let go find new employment. It will be a painful process, so prepare accordingly and persevere because on the other side of hardship lies great reward! Companies no longer possess an advantage. Each rejection from a company should serve as a reminder that they may never have the opportunity to hire the candidates they reject, for the right company will recognize their talent and welcome them with open arms, leaving companies who demand too much value for too little money in the shadows, where they deserve to be! - TSL

This applies to any industry, but we'll discuss it from the perspective of the tech industry. The reason is straightforward: if someone less qualified than you has a job and you don't, it's because they accept a lower salary. Their compensation is so low that it's an irresistible offer for companies. Companies tolerate subpar quality and constant errors on the same tasks in the hope that the individual will improve over time and continue to be paid the same low salary. If companies discover a tech worker who can somehow perform the job for $1,000 per month, they believe they have struck gold. However, here's what happens: these types of companies are run by miserly, potentially narcissistic, manipulative, and psychopathic CEOs that you would likely not want to work for, so don't worry. Let's consider another example: if in your country the acceptable salary for a tech professional is $4,000 per month but someone is willing to do the job for $3,000 or even $2,500, the company will attempt to take advantage of the lower labor cost. There exists an unwritten karmic law: attempting to cheat the system and avoid the real cost in the end ultimately costs more than if the right person was hired from the beginning. Alternatively, the product is riddled with bugs, and customers abandon it as soon as they join, leaving the company's business to struggle and spiral downward. Different parts of the world have different living costs. What $10,000 means for someone in the U.S. might equate to $2,000 in their country, and they will happily work for that salary. However, there's a catch: cheap doesn't mean quality. How many times has a company hired cheap workers only to later hire the right people with appropriate salaries to clean up the mess left by the cheaper labor force? If you have been in the tech industry long enough, you are aware that this exists. This tells you everything about the company culture and how much they value their employees. Here's a secret that's not so secret anymore: cheap workers aren't respected privately. Publicly the CEO praises them in one-on-one communication but privately they boast to other CEOs or people about how little they pay them, as this inflates their ego and makes them feel powerful because they believe they are cheating the system. The other reason why someone less qualified has a job and you don't is that cheap workers often act as sycophants and flatterers. They tolerate disrespect from management simply to maintain their salary, and management feels empowered because it has complete dominion and control over these individuals. For this reason, such companies can only dream of a rock star person joining their team. We wanted to share these insights with you in case you are that rock star person or someone who can bring significant value but is not given the opportunity. It rarely has anything to do with your skills and expertise; it's because the company doesn't want to or cannot afford you. Stand your ground, don't undersell yourself because that's an invitation for disrespect. The right companies value people who value themselves! These are the places you want to work at - not only because of salary but because management understands the true cost of running a business and wants quality over cheap workers who fear speaking their minds. - TSL

The good in tech layoffs is that everything gets exposed. Deceitful, malevolent companies are revealing themselves. They expose their masks and facades. In the very first moment companies believed they no longer required tech professionals, they began discarding them like waste. They did so without any human approach, ethics, or empathy. This demonstrates everything about the company culture and their true nature! Now with the increased prices for premium AI models that are expected to rise again in the future, it's time for karma! Over time, this is inevitable! Companies will want the people back, but do they deserve them? You should not easily accept the layoffs. If the same company that laid you off wants to rehire you, you must demand a 50% pay increase as punishment for their ignorance and greed. Period. Do not be fooled by their crocodile tears. If a company has participated in layoffs, remember this saying: history tends to repeat itself, and while you work for them, they will look for ways to lay you off again to save costs. This poses a genuine threat. A snake never changes its character; it merely sheds its skin to become more cunning. Learn to identify the snakes in the tech industry. Avoid them because you'll get bitten again. Companies where darkness reigns should be left shrouded in darkness without people. Would you accept a partner in your personal life who had cheated on you and risk being cheated on again? Don't be naive or foolish. As we like to say frequently: no free pass for everyone! If a company wants to rehire you after laying you off, they should offer you an attractive salary; otherwise, don't accept. Even if they lay you off again, at least you took home a substantial salary, and the venom from the snake will feel less potent, allowing you to survive. This is a metaphor that we believe you can understand. They tell you "it's only business, don't take it personally" but it's another lie and deceit. You should take it personally, not in a vengeful way though because holding a grudge is not healthy. You are a human, and no one should treat you like disposable waste. For this reason, either don't accept an offer from a company that laid you off or if you do accept, make sure your salary is higher than the last time they fired you thinking AI would perform better. There is no going back after the hoe phase. Would you marry a woman who has gone through her promiscuous phase? Why should it be different for a company? "Just because it's business" - that excuse won't fly with us. - TSL
